Oh my, is there a more true statement? Well, not that I know of anyway. OH! OH! Wait... I might have found one...
It is already 2:30 and I have been trying to get here since I finished watering the backyard early this morning. Hubby got the front watered.
I get in the computer room and just get lost in, well, I'm not sure what. OK! I might have taken 50 pictures this morning of plants in our yard. Then uploaded them to the computer and into an album. I will post in Bulletins for those who didn't get the email from me. And I might have also airdropped 70 more from a friend and put them on my iPad and loaded them into a Google album. So where does your day go?
And I haven't even had breakfast or lunch yet! What are you fixing today? Hubby gave up and had a sandwich. If I wait long enough he might end up with cereal for dinner.
Oh what a beautiful morning! Oh what a beautiful day! I got a beautiful feelin' Everything'g going our way! Now that you have a song in your head all day, I am positive that everything is going our way.
Especially since I've had two cups of coffee earlier and just now two Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Taquitos from WhatABurger! So bring on the day. I can handle it.
Even upside down! How about you? Is everything going your way? I hope it smooth sailing for you as this week flies by!
Just have fun, go with the flow, share your smile with everyone you encounter. I love all the Halloween and Fall pages.
We got one nice downpour shower on Saturday that gave up 1/2" of rain and filled my 4 buckets that were empty. So now I have water to pour on the plants under eaves that don't get a drink when it rains.
We had a great weekend but don't know what we actually did other than watch college football all day Saturday and NFL all day Sunday after our three Church sermons online. As you can see I have already been outside and my strawberries are still producing. I already potted 5 new plants that someone shared with me.
HELP ME!
You can tell what Hubby is doing. He is on the last of four dogs now. For the most part, they are not excited about bath time but do tolerate it.
So I guess I will pay a few bills and see what the rest of the day holds for us. It is national Taco day, but we will probably wait until tomorrow.
What difference does the change of a month make? Sometimes none at all; then we have from September 30 to October 1. Oh my, the leaves start falling!
But why can't they all fall in a nice neat pile instead of all over the yard. And about the time you get them raked up, the wind comes along and you get to start all over. Or after you get them bagged, the tree decides to drop another bunch of leaves.
Doesn't Snoopy make it look easy! Well, life may not be that easy but it sure can be fun. I am praying today, this 1st day of the wonderful month of October, that your Friday, your weekend, and your month of October will be fun and exciting!
We just finished the last of the Chicken and Dumplings. And yes, it was delicious. So now it is time for a Peppermint Pattie!
We have been to the Glaucoma doctor and to the Optical store to pay for Hubby's glasses. We did stop and buy a lottery ticket. Hubby always buys one for him and one for me. If there is a winning ticket, it is his ticket not mine.
We still haven't had a drop of rain but they keep promising us it is coming tomorrow. This is the third day in a row they have said tomorrow.
It is almost time to go check on the chickens, give them fresh water, throw them some mealworms and collect eggs.
Have you ever had fresh "from the hen" eggs? Oh my gosh! They just have such a wonderful flavor. So now I'm off to water the plants and watch for hummingbirds.
Just collected eggs after our Rosa's Tacos meal. Earlier this morning the orchids got their cube of ice for the week. Hummingbirds got fresh food in the feeder.
Halloween nails got put on. Showered & washed hair (should have colored it). Filled up car with gas. Lottery tickets bought. A load of clothes got washed.
So now it is time to chill and read my Kindle app because it is very near 100° and too hot to sit even on the covered patio today. Wednesday Hubby has an appointment with a vision eye doctor and Thursday he has an appointment with a glaucoma eye doctor (hence car filled with gas).
Yes Sandy, next door they have lost a total of 3 so far. And my granddaughter, Michelle, just lost all 4 of hers because they fogot to put them in the coop last weekend. Now, orange you glad I'm done.
Guess what we are doing this week... collecting eggs! We are getting 6 fresh eggs a day. Our friends came over yesterday for a visit and I gave them all the eggs we had, which was between 2 and 3 dozen (all fresh).
So today, we are patiently waiting for the six hens to take turns on the nest. There are several nests in the coop but they all lay their eggs in one nest. So when you open the top, all six, 3 white (Leghorns) and 3 brown (Rhode Island Reds) are all right there together.
Isn't that strange? Soon they will be able to hatch chickens because they have one rooster added to the mix now. They lost two young chickens (out of three) they had in a different pen. So they traded the last young one for a rooster because the older hens would pick and peck on the younger one.
Guess I had better go figure out what to do for our meal of the day. Bills are already paid, grass has been mowed, and I am getting hungry. So share your smile and know that I am sending Blessings and Hugs your way everyday.
Kisses are the best way to wake up. Woo Hoo! We made it to the weekend. College Football day is my favorite day.
I sure hope you are getting out and having fun this weekend. Our temperatures may reach 90° again today, but it is so wonderful early in the mornings to be in the upper 50's.
Hubby is outside washing the Orange Tahoe. I think I will take the dogs for a walk. Now, if you believe that about me, I do have some Ocean Front property in Arizona for you.
Thanks for spending a few minutes with me today. Don't forget to share that beautiful smile of yours with everyone you see.
Sending my best wishes on First Day of Autumn, as we all get ready for this amazing season when leaves turn in their most beautiful colours in their last days...mk
Amazing how Monday just shows up on a regular basis. I have successfully ignored the morning. Well, I have made some calls and paid some bills and looked at several websites (shopping, Not shopping) and now it is afternoon.
Hubby got the front watered this morning. We were about 100° yesterday and will be again today... but tomorrow our high will be 82° with lows in the mid 50's. Yippee Yahoo.
Even though we have almost no chance of rain, we will keep watering and say, "Thank You Lord for the blessings of cooler temperatures." I know the hummingbirds are migrating through South Texas. My friends there sent videos of 10 or more hummers at their feeder at one time. It was so hot here that I just took a video of my hummingbird sitting near and protecting the feeders.
So guess I had better go find something for lunch. Something else that is amazing is how often my tummy growls to indicate that it is time to eat again... every day.
Thursday I was busy cleaning out all the water features for the birds and giving the hummingbirds new food. We are still quite warm during the day (start day in low 70's) and plants are still needing water every other day.
Hopefully we say goodbye to Summer Fairy and hello to cooler temperatures during the day and early morning too. Let's try it, Hello Fall Fairy!
Right now, the only leaves falling are because the trees need a good soaking of rain. But at 15% chance next week, that isn't too promising. Then came..
As soon as I told Hubby that I needed a shower, my phone rang and it was Tisha. She was running late dropping off her 1st grader and told him to hurry. He tripped over the curb and did a faceplant.
He did not want to go to school. Besides, he would definitely have trouble seeing.
As you can tell by his glasses. They got new glasses ordered and she kept putting ointment on his cheek. By the end of the day I could hear him laughing at something on the iPad. When I got home, Bennett and his family came to the backyard for a visit.
So now here I am wishing you a blessed weekend as I am heading off to watch more football after Thursday night & Friday nights exciting games.
OK... so it isn't the football fairy... close though, right?
At least I hope it has for you. It starts out a little bit cooler each morning but we are still in the 90's almost every day. In the sun it is not sweater weather but sweaty weather!
And I know Hubby is sweating in the early morning heat. I love that he is always looking for something to do. He got the Marten house cleaned out the other day just in case any birds want a place to nest.
Hey now, I was busy yesterday too. Football nails are now on! And I have Halloween nails and Election nails and then it will be Christmas nails. I do love ColorStreet nails. They are so easy to put on and take off! Thanks to my friends, JoyDoll (NOTH) and Ashlee.
So as I send lots of Blessings your way and remind you to share your smile, I am off to find something wonderful for our meal of the day (then we snack later). I took pork chops, ribeyes, and hamburger patties out of the freezer to thaw. So today might be something with Fried Rice and Spring Rolls.
I will probably see what action is happening in the backyard too and make sure Hubby hasn't melted yet.
Well, here it is already Monday afternoon, but the yard has been mowed by me and Hubby has trimmed a tree, cut up the branches, cleaned out the Martin house, put up new fly catchers, and I'm sure several other things.
Hubby just went to run through the shower and told me that I needed to do that too... like maybe he could smell me. We have beautiful dark clouds today. We might get a sprinkle for tropical storm Nicholas but we are on the dry side. However, friends and family from the border (Mission) to Corpus Christi to Houston are predicted to get 6-12" of rain. The winds are only 70 mph now and are not expected to be much more than that.
Guess I had better find my water and figure out what our meal of the day will be today. Can't wait to see what your weekend was like and what plans you have for this middle of the month already. Time seems to fly by faster and faster the older we get. Don't forget to share your smile because there are lots of people out there looking for it.
